Add ability to link from TOC to publisher's website
A user suggested the ability to link right to the home page of the journal on the publisher's site in order to learn more about the journal as well as to potentially see other non-periodical content.
26 votesOur mistake on this one! Not all components of this feature are complete, so this was set to complete prematurely. Apologies for the mistake!

We'd like this sorting enhancement, please...
Using the sorting option, titles with current full text would be displayed first, followed by embargoed content, with unsubscribed titles last.

Sync items in my bookshelf to my favourites in Primo
As it is possible to integrate BrowZine within Primo it would be useful if article information saved to the my bookshelf could be synced to display in a users Primo my favourites area. Otherwise students will have to check 2 different accounts for saved items.

Rename "My Bookshelf" to something like "Favorites"
The tab My Bookshelf is confusing to me. I feel like people will think they can search for our e-books using this platform. Is there way to change the name of that particular tab to something like Favorites or My Favorite Journals?

Add a warning for deleting My Articles collections in the app.
When you delete a collection in BrowZine web, you get this message: Are you sure you want to delete collection "Collection Name"? This will permanently delete this collection and all the articles it contains.
Can a similar warning be added when you delete a collection from the app? I deleted one today on my iPad and didn't realize I'd lose any articles that weren't associated with another collection. You could also add something to the warning suggesting that users should move/copy articles to other collections if they don't want to lose the articles.

Add functionality to import search results from e.g. Web of Science
This would greatly improve the workflow of going from query to full text article.

Allow title page additions to shelves.
Allow titles to be added to book shelves from the list page, instead of forcing the user to go to the individual journal pages to add the title.

Create Artificial Issues for continuously published titles like the Frontiers series
Doing so would make the titles much easier to browse.

Switch Off Warnings
Allow user to switch off display of warnings, such as 'Authentication Failed' in the Preferences/User Settings. E.g. I know when I am on the intranet or not and what to expect in both cases, so no warning needed.

Add the ability to share without requiring the user to download the paper
When using the iPad app I often I see an article title that I want to send to another colleague that is not related to my research field. It would be great to have a way to share paper with a colleague without first downloading the paper to my device.
On the iPad this could easily be achieved through right swiping the paper title with configurable sharing options available.

Enable marking a whole issue as a favourite
Many/most journals release special issues dedicated to specific topics. It would be valuable to be able to mark a whole issue as a favourite, so that I can easily return again and again until I've read or saved all articles of interest (particularly useful for those weekly journals, where it is easy to get behind). I was thinking that enabling a change of colour in the list of issues would be one way of handling this, or enabling the addition of an icon to the list of available issues, but there are probably other/better ideas.

Enable sharing of whole issue
Provide a means of sharing a link to an issue.
Currently, BrowZine makes it very easy to share individual articles, but in the iPad app, I can't currently see a way to share a link to a whole issue (apologies if I've missed this). This would support a range of a library's current awareness services.

Add the option to display one, two, three or four shelves in the My Bookshelf bookcases
For example, if only two shelves were displayed, then the journal cover images could be enlarged to fill the space.
